Guangzhoushuoshenghaoyi Keji Youxian Gongsi (TopHomerUS) recalled about 1,040 TopHomer 8-inch pool drain covers on December 18, 2025 — the covers fail the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act's entrapment-protection standards, a risk of entrapment and drowning.
They sold on Amazon for $15 to $26 from August 2024 through October 2025. Owners stop using the pool, remove the cover and email a photo for a refund; no incidents were reported.
A drain cover is a promise that suction ends at the grate — a non-compliant cover makes the pool's pump a trap.
Recalled 1,040 covers; owners must remove and photograph the cover to get a refund, ensuring the dangerous grates leave pools.
Fails VGBA entrapment standards — drowning risk; 1,040 covers at $15-26; Amazon Aug 2024-Oct 2025; refund after removal photo
The VGBA was written after a death; a cover that skips it sells the pool's suction unarmed
The markings claimed a listed suction fitting at 148 GPM — the certification was part of the costume
Entrapment standards are written in memorials. A drain cover that fails the VGBA does not merely break a rule — it reopens the exact accident the rule was named for, at $15 a cover.
